6. The Pin Assignments for DB9 male connector:
Male D-Sub 9-Pin (outside view)
Note: Use a crossover cable (null modem) for connection to the host controller:
Planar Simplicity Series 4K displays use RXD, TXD and GND pins for RS232C control. For
RS232C cable, use the reverse type cable.

This field can be also empty.
If not empty then the range of Data Size, N = 0 to

Checksum
Checksum
Range = 0 to 255 (0xFF).
Algorithm: The EXCLUSIVE-OR (XOR) of all bytes
in the message except the checksum itself.
Checksum = [Header] XOR [Monitor ID] XOR …
DATA[0] … XOR DATA[N]
4. Communication Procedure
Send control commands from a host controller via the RS232 connection. Do not send a new
command until the previous command is acknowledged. However, if a response is not received
within 500 milliseconds, a retry may be triggered. Every valid command receives an ACK. A
command that is valid, but not supported in the current implementation, will be responded to
with NAV (Not Available). If the command buffer is corrupt, (transmission errors) the command
will be responded to with NAK. The display operates according to the received command. If the
command is a valid “Get” command, the display responds with the requested info. If the
command is a valid “Set” command allowed, the display performs the requested operation.
Note: For LAN control, the port number is 5000. To enable LAN support in standby mode, the
Power Save Mode setting must not be set to Low Power. Reference the Simplicity Series 4K
Displays User Guide for more information.

6. Communication Control
This defines the feedback command from the monitor to the host controller. When the device
receives a display command from the host controller the command reported to host controller
will be ACK, NAK or NAV.
Note: There is no reply message when the wrong ID address is used.
6.1 Message Report
Example ACK Reply: (Display Address 01)
Example NAK Reply: (Display Address 01)
Example NAV Reply: (Display Address 01)

The value is stored and applied only when the display starts up from cold start power state the
next time:
Power Off: The monitor will automatically switch to Power Off mode (even if the last
status was on) whenever the main power turns on, or resumes after a power interruption.
Forced On: The monitor will automatically switch to Power On mode whenever the main
power turns on or resumes after a power interruption.
Last Status: The monitor will be automatically switch to the last status (either Power Off
or On) whenever the main power turns on or resumes after a power interruption.
Example: Report status of Forced On for Power State at Cold Start (Display Address 01)
